00:25Good and gracious me!
00:32Bye, Mum. Bye, Dad. We're off.
00:34Oh, so you two lovers of somewhere romantic?
00:38She's going to the pictures.
00:39Oh, a romantic film?
00:41No, no, I think it's a comedy.
00:43Oh, good idea. You know, Raju, your mother and I saw a very funny film the other day.
00:49A very funny film. You must see it.
00:52Oh, right. What was it called?
00:53I can't remember, but it was very hilarious.
00:57It all takes place on a boat.
01:01And you see, there's a lot of these crazy people there.
01:04And they're all laughing and drinking and being very silly.
01:08And there's a lot of dancing and carrying on below deck.
01:12And just when the party gets really swinging, they...
01:22They hit an iceberg!
01:31And the whole bloody boat sinked.
01:35The funny thing is, there wasn't enough lifeboats to go around.
01:42And they're all crashing about in the water.
01:44Help! I can't swim!
01:46You're fine!
01:47Your mother and I laughed out loud.
01:50Oh, yes.
01:50With the cinema.
01:51Oh, that's how funny it was.
01:54That's Titanic, and it's not funny.
01:59Well, we liked it, didn't we?
02:01Yes!
02:03Yes!
02:04Yes!
02:05Yes!
02:08Yes!
02:09Yes!
02:09Yes!
02:10Yes!
02:12Good day.
02:13Welcome to Rav's Animal Hospital.
02:15I'm in downtown Karachi at the animal dispensary.
02:18And someone's had a terrible accident.
02:20Excuse me, mate.
02:21Can you tell us what happened?
02:22You see, I was sitting in my living room, and I saw this dog on my driveway sniffing around.
02:30So later, I went outside and reversed my car out, and I felt this bump.
02:36Is he dead?
02:37Well, the poor little fella looks in a bad way, but I think he'll survive.
02:43And now?
02:50The year is 1905.
02:52At the University of Cambridge are gathered the world's intellectual elite.
02:56Among them, a group of young men whose destiny is to lead their mother country to independence and beyond.
03:03Nehru and Jinnah, the Cambridge years.
03:06Ah, Mr. Nehru.
03:09Mr. Jinnah.
03:12Mr. Nehru, salam, salam, salam.
03:18Namaste.
03:20How do you do?
03:21How went last night's meeting?
03:24The meeting of the Congress All India Committee?
03:27The same?
03:28Mr. Jinnah, it is indeed unfortunate that you are unable to attend.
03:32It is my firm belief that our historians will remember this meeting as the first true stirrings of Indian independence.
03:38Then it was a success?
03:40Yes.
03:41And a total lager frenzy.
03:43Yes.
03:44Yes, although personally I never touched a drop.
03:47Because of your unimpeachable moral rectitude?
03:50Yes.
03:51Though some of our colleagues were completely shedded.
03:54That's bonkers, mate.
03:57Ah, here's young Gupta.
03:59Mr. Gupta, how go the revision for finals week?
04:02Mr. Nehru, Mr. Jinnah, I've done absolutely no revision, me.
04:06And I don't care.
04:08Mr. Because you're bonkers.
04:10Mr. Precisely.
04:13Mr. Oh dear.
04:27And to talk about the emerging intellectual middle class.
04:31Mr. Speaking of which, did you hear about the supper that we had in old Gandhi's rooms?
04:36Mr. Do, then.
04:38Mr. We were about to retire for a spot of billiards, when in walked the Nawab of Bhutan.
04:42Mr. Trousers around his ankles, traffic cone on his head, singing some ditty about four and twenty young women recently
04:49arrived from Inverness.
04:50Mr. And they talk about creating a nation state.
04:55Mr. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
04:59Mr. I don't believe it, in it, Beena.
05:14Mr. Here comes that guy again, trying pathetically to catch our eye.
05:19Mr. Look, buddy, we are out on a date with two gorgeous single Asian men.
05:24Mr. Tell him we haven't made them up.
05:25Mr. Yeah, and we ain't made them up neither this time.
05:29Mr. And I know you can't help drooling over our babelicious bodies, right, but we are taking, innit?
05:35Mr. You girls gonna order a drink tonight, or what?
05:37Mr. Oh, sorry.
05:39Mr. Er, no, thanks. The guys are getting our drinks from the bar.
05:42Mr. Er, Beena, what do you mean the guys are getting our drinks? They didn't ask us what we wanted.
05:47Mr. Yeah, but you're gonna have a Malibu and creme de mon, like you always do, innit?
05:51Mr. That is not the point. They did not ask us. What does that say to you?
05:55Mr. They're two nice blokes who wanna buy us a drink, innit?
05:59Mr. No, man. They are trying to control us, innit?
06:02Mr. Oh.
06:02Mr. Look, it starts with a baby sham you don't want, right?
06:05Mr. And before you know it, you're pregnant and tied to a sink and he's off shagging somebody called Tracy.
06:10Mr. But these bodies are getting away with it in their dreams.
06:14Mr. You've been watching too much Jerry Springer, innit?
06:16Mr. Jerry, Jerry, anyway.
06:18Mr. See, Dev's last girlfriend was not called Tracy, she was called Amanda.
06:23Mr. Oh, great, Amanda. So now we are landed with two Asian guys who have had their fun with white
06:29women
06:29and wanna go out with two debt-y doormates in their dreams.
06:34Mr. Yeah, but you're wondering, man, he'd never been out with a girlie.
06:37Mr. In fact, he hasn't had a girlfriend for ages.
06:39Mr. Oh, great. So now I get the closet-gate Asian bloke that wants to marry me so he can
06:45lead a sordid double life beyond my back.
06:47Mr. Well, in his dreams.
06:50Mr. Um, me not.
06:50Mr. And I'm gonna tell him I don't like his jumper at all.
06:52Mr. They've gone.
06:55Mr. Just now, when you were shouting and foaming at the mouth.
06:59Mr. See, they're all bastards, innit?
07:02Mr. Oh.

10:24But he might die!
10:25Good!

11:44spiritual guidebook the Maharishi yogi's true path to enlightenment now as we are
11:50all aware the market for spiritual guidebooks is currently saturated by many
11:56charlatans people like Deepak Chopra Dalai Lama Delia Smith these people miss the
12:07very essence of Vedic teaching as summarized by the ancient Sanskrit dictum
12:29this is meaning the best things in life are free but you can keep them for
12:37the birds and bees I want money but my book is the only one that remains both
12:45faithful to the principles of Vedic teaching and also available in pop-up
12:49form I was first inspired to write this book after the astounding success of my
12:57first work the Maharishi's genealogy of contemporary moral Eastern philosophy
13:01later turned into the Hollywood blockbuster basic instinct in my new book I try to solve the problems of
13:12life in a stress-filled modern world now there are two paths to spiritual fulfillment I would recommend the hardback
13:21path priced 1899

13:31those that disagree with my teachings those that are critical of my work

13:40jacuzzi to these skeptics I would like to quote an ancient Sanskrit proverb
